Best Spaceship Flight Scene: the X-wing fight at the end of Episode IV StarWars. Okay maybe I am old school, but it is truly great. If you watch the re-re-cgi-ed version, it is still pretty cool. Of course, any of the big Babylon 5 battles run a pretty close second.

Biggest Mindf***: Ending of Se7en

Best "Oh My God, CGI can do that?!": Did you see the Lord of the Rings?

Things we totally agree uponBest Line Delivered Immediately Prior to a Villian's Death: "This is where you fall down." Johnny Cage, Mortal Kombat. It may not be the best line, but it has style.

Most Heartwrenching Moment (in a fantasy/ science fiction film): When Navarre and Isobol almost touch at dawn in LadyHawke With the qualifier it is hands down true, without the qualifier it could be true.

Coolest Baby: JackJack from The Incredibles No argument there. Of course, not a lot of competition.

I will qualify.Best "Oh My God, CGI can do that?!" (total CGI): Advent Children

Best Death of a Nameless Minion: In Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, when the Ents are marching on Isengard. They break the dam, water comes rushing in, and an Ent casually tosses an orc he's holding into the oncoming wall of water.

Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

Best Action Movie With But A Symbolic Plot - Mean Guns (So here you are... now kill each other.)

Best wrongly interpreted name of a Film - The Long Kiss Goodnight (Was supposed to be a romantic movie, went there on duty as high school kids to learn proper English. We learned that to kiss somebody goodnight means to kill him.)

The Best Prison Movie Ever - Shawshank Redemption (Actually an excellent movie by many other accounts!)

Best Classic Seafaring Movie: Master and Commander (Okay, this is the only one I can remember at the moment, besides the Pirates of the Caribbean, which is a little different category. So other candidates are welcome.)
